Youth on Purpose is a non-profit organization. We gratefully receive donations to support youth and families whose financial or family status would otherwise prevent them from participating. No youth or family will be denied participation due to financial restraints.


"Fear binds the world. Forgiveness sets it free."
There are many influences on our children today: television, movies, video games, peer pressure, and the erosion of the family unit as a safe and supportive environment for growth. We cannot control some of these influences, but we can provide young adults with the tools to make healthy, powerful choices; choices that reflect their true purposes in life.

Youth on Purpose is a program that teaches our children free, fearless communication. It awakens their innate ability to align with their own power and to use it to connect with their families, peers, and communities.

For parents and caregivers, Youth on Purpose teaches them to communicate openly with their children, their partners, and their peers. Special focus is given to revitalizing the communication within the family unit and the elimination of the "Generation Gap" through mentoring, activities, creative expression, and group sharing.
